She and Mikko were convinced to take part in an auction for a cancer charity at the HITB2012KUL conference:

And it was quite a success! Mikko's ponytail went for 7000MYR. (1770EUR/2288USD)

On a serious note.

Two years ago, while going through stuff during some office renovations, I came across a photo of Mikko with (relatively) short hair. When Mikko saw the photo he said, "I'm never going to do that again…".

(I can tell you that he didn't want to cut off his ponytail.)

But he did.

For a very good cause. I am proud of him for it. I am very proud to work with him.

And I'm confident in saying the same is true for the rest of the folks here at F-Secure.

He's one of the good guys.

On a different (and threat related) note:

After watching the video, I sent a link to an internal F-Secure list.

This is by far the best reply I received:

Indeed. That would have been the perfect link bait! Why didn't I think of that? ;-)
